But the Wolf Puppet was an LPB-1 with two extra tone settings. There's absolutely no difference in sound at all between the mid setting on the WPB and the LPB. Oh well!?!

I know this Tim, but unfortunately there was something going a jar between the pedal & my setup. Sound wise / features / aesthetically I preferred yours but I had real issue with crackling decay... especially in conjunction with my compressor. I tried all sorts to solve this but it wasn't disappearing, only slight improvements. Sadly it was something that bugged me. The pedal is now on ebay but before it goes I could do a side by side comparison and record it if you'd like to hear what I'm getting at here ?

The EH LPB-1 was cheap so i thought I'd give it a go to see if it did the same thing... it didn't, afterall I was very happy with the main content of sound coming from the wolf puppet. So I don't know what's going on. The minute differences in components ? hmmm....

Let me know if you're interested in some sound samples.

The answer must be power supply filtering. The WPB has none but I bet Electro Harmonix have added some with the new LPB. I'm gonna find some gutshots of this pedal and see if I can spot the issue.

Should that have eliminated when using a battery ? I think I tried that to no avail... can't really remember as it was a while back.

Also, Should I try it with another p/supply ? Not certain what you mean by the filtering exactly so i may be off topic.

If there's an easy fix I would be happy to pull the auction and get it back on my board.

Nah keep the auction running I'm just intrigued. Does it still decay in a weird way if you use a battery? I'm guessing that even this simple circuit needs some power filtering, so the supply is smooth and uninterrupted. Could be unrelated though. You might just have a dry solder joint!

I will have to check tomorrow if it does this with batteries as well. I may just hit the record but too.

For the record I don't even like EHX that much.

thanks.

Mine has this problem too but as I only use it in conjunction with a high gain distortion pedal it's not an issue.

Worth subbing out the 2n5088 for a 2n3904 aswell, I have had some bad batches of 2n5088s that sound great in fuzzes and Muffs but plain bad in a Saltbooster. I now use 2n3904s in the Saltbooster with some tweaks to the input and output caps to compensate for the more bassy 2n3904 sound,

sho, volume, ect [w/ my starve box], tuner, modded sd1, ce-3, mt2, regen, nova delay

usually stereo out to the bassman and pathfinder. the vox is running its speaker out to my 2x12, fender left/vox right. A 12" speaker and closed back cab really help the Vox along w/ the led mod.

got the MXR/CAE Boost today. brought it from a friend on the joe bonamassa forum. he was selling a fulltone fat boost for stupid cheap but i missed it. got this on a good deal instead. works really well with the DT, pushed the gain and volume for a great lead tone. no noise or hiss, simple and effective. excuse the carpet, i'm not using a board at the moment and the derby labour club is not the most decorative place.

soooo lucky

the only pedals I get on my CL are ehx or boss.

Yeah... There's been this wave of cheap boutique pedal offerings up in there lately.
I missed out on a $79 Death By Audio Fuzz War, last week, wasn't gonna let this one slip me by.

Makes me wonder if a shop wasn't burglarized, or something...

I found and bought a small tube amp. Quite pleased so far. Spent a little more than I was intending to but you only live once, eh?

I was listening to some great Matamp clips on some french forum the other day... my desire for one is getting unbearable.
